PML-N criticizes govt over inadequate measures to prevent coronavirus

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has criticized the PTI-led federal government for taking inadequate measures to contain the outbreak of coronavirus.

Addressing a press conference along with PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb and Senator Musadik Malik, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that the government has failed to prevent the deadly coronavirus – which has claimed lives of more than 180 people in Pakistan.

He further said that the people of Pakistan might have to suffer in the coming days because of the in-competencies of the incumbent government.

Shahid Khaqan said, “Previously the government wasn’t able to make a firm decision regarding lockdown and now they are easing restrictions amid a rising number of coronavirus infections.”

The former prime minister also criticized the discriminatory behavior of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) towards PML-N and its leaders.

Commenting on Shahbaz Sharif’s appearance before NAB, he said: “It is so unfair that NAB can’t wait, although Shehbaz Sharif has submitted all required documents of foreign assets before the court.”

He further said that NAB should now demand documents of foreign assets from Prime Minister Imran Khan, Shehzad Akbar, and chairman NAB he said.

Earlier last week, Shehbaz Sharif skipped a National Accountability Bureau (NAB) hearing due to the coronavirus situation in the country.
